I've got another rather desturbing problem with the ata/ufs code...

Awhile back I submitted several bug reports regarding mysterious
kernel panics early in the morning, and the system coming back up unable
to reboot due to softupdate inconsitancies almost everywhere on the
drive...

For months, this problem seemed to dissapear, then yesterday, I
reinstalled my windows partition (used mostly for games, so, used very
seldom)

This morning, when I got to the machine, the problem had returned. Could
this have anything to do with the mounted FAT32 file systems? If so, why
does it not appear when those FAT32s are mounted, but have nothing on
them?

I also enabled power management for the hard drive yesterday, could this
be it?

The drive is a Seagate ST340810A, the controller is a PCI ATA, integrated
into an Asus P3V133, identified only as a VIA 82C596.

The machine actually output one last message in the logs before its first
reboot attempt:

Jun  9 03:01:14 phoenix /kernel: dscheck(#ad/0x20007): negative b_blkno
-1061109568

I'd really apreciate it if anyone could get me some help getting this to
stop. I've tried all the handbook and mailing list bugfixes (turning off
write behind, tuning my BIOS parameters manually to my drive
specifications, etc) all to no avail.

Will
